Kevin Hopkins [b. 2000, Beaufort, South Carolina] is a painter based in Kansas City, Missouri.

Hopkins’ work explores the celebration of life and the awareness of his mortality following the

passing of an elder. Currently, he has focused his work on highlighting familial relationships

through self-portraiture--or personas extracted from self-portraiture. Kevin now attends the

Kansas City Art Institute majoring in Painting and Art History. He was recognized

internationally as a 2021 Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grantee and nationally as a 2021

AXA Art Prize finalist.
